Wire service headline:
Cuba lets U.S. legislators meet with Fidel Castro
How nice of them. Rep. Barabara Lee, leader of the Congressional Black Caucus group that includes Rep. Mel Watt, said Castro was “very healthy, very energetic, very clear-thinking.” And Rep. Laura Richardson says Castro “sincerely wants an opportunity, I think, in his lifetime to see a change in America.”
This is a total joke, with no need to even discuss the types of changes Castro would like to see in America. The real problem is he’s about halfway —at least — toward his goal.
Update: I’m reviewing Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto for Carolina Journal. I just read a passage that puts Rep. Richardson’s statment in its proper context:
The Statist urges Americans to view themselves through the lenses of those who resent and even hate them….The Statist wants Americans to see themselves as backward, foolishly holding to their quaint notions of individual liberty, property, family and faith, long diminished or jettisoned in other countries.
